Come Celebrate America's Birthday with Me!!

Happy Birthday, America!!

July 4th is Independence Day - the day America became an independent nation. Every year we celebrate this day by gathering with family friends to enjoy picnics and fireworks.

I hope  you will join me and other IEI teachers and students on the Minnetrista grounds for this year's celebration. Bring friends, family, and something to sit on like a blanket or a chair. If you want, you can bring drinks and food as well.

The fun begins at 8 pm with America's Hometown Band playing live music outdoors.

Then when the sun goes down, the fireworks will begin! The fireworks display happens at Muncie Central High School and they are shot across the river. We will have great seats for the show from the Minnetrista grounds.

Cost is FREE!

How to get there:

          

From the Ball State campus and RB building, go east to Wheeling Rd. At the traffic light there at Wheeling, you will see the entrance into the Minnetrista grounds. Go into the grounds and follow the directions to a parking place. Go to the main Minnestrisa building and you will see a lot of people out on the grass. Walk around the building (follow the sounds of the music) and you will find me. I will have a flag or a balloon or something high in the air so you can easily see me.

What to bring: You do not need to bring anything, but here are some things you might want to bring -

• blanket or chair
• food and/or drinks
• outdoor games
• camera
